Yeah, I think you’re correct here. I haven’t tried this myself. First GPU was a GTX 1060. Swapped to an RTX 3080. I used DDU just to play it safe.

I used to be a Windows user before switching to Linux, and upgrading a GPU is incredibly simple on Windows. You don’t need Display Driver Uninstaller, but it is ideal to use it for the best performance and remediating future incompatibilities.

1. Download DDU. Download Nvidia driver (and not GeForce Experience)
2. Reboot into Safe Mode.
3. Open DDU.
4. Pick the option that removes display drivers while shutting down the computer. This option is marked as “recommended” in the GUI.
5. Wait for job to finish and computer will shut down.
6. Open case.
7. Replace with new GPU.
8. Close case.
9. Turn on computer.
10. Open the new driver and wait for it to install.
11. Done.

Process is almost identical for AMD or Arc GPUs.

I appreciate this is a meme, but if your computer behaves like that, it means it’s borked. I’d fix those other issues, too, and probably reinstall Windows. Most likely that user messed with things they shouldn’t have by following random guides and YouTube videos online. In my decades of using Windows, I never had those problems.

This is freaking hilarious! Love it

I thought that was the intent of the reboot trilogy. At the end of Shadow of the Tomb Raider, she is hardened now and gets her second pistol. But I played that once back in 2018 so I don’t remember exactly how that game went with themes.

Doubt.

You can by opting out of the current machinery of music.

I buy CDs and digital music on Qobuz and Bandcamp, and immediately archive it. Instant high quality lossless FLAC. Upload it to my own server and I can stream it on the go if I want. But for now, I also duplicate the effort by syncing the local files to my smart phone. I have complete and total authority over my music purchases. The simple time is now.

On another note, I’ve been thinking about resurrecting my iPod Classic or possibly my iPod nano. The rectangular yellow one. Loved that thing.

Graphene will be working with a new OEM partner, as they officially announced. We should expect to hear who the OEM will be in 2026-2027.

Same here. It’s a tight-knit, pretty small community for now. If it ever grows much bigger, it’ll be a lot harder to recognise users.

We just need more persons out there commenting and posting (not bots).

“They already have my information anyway.”

“Oh, what are they gonna do with my info? Who cares that I searched for X and Y? LOL.”

Me, a software engineer working for a major cSaaS provider that partners with other companies that specialise in Mobile Real User Monitoring, Open Telemetry, Bluetooth beacons, etc.: “Eh, no idea what they do with that info. Now let me just ignore all these non-anonymized analytics, spans, traces, and metrics that these companies capture about your devices and the health of their applications and infrastructure.”

I stopped bringing these things up years ago. Can’t explain this to persons who don’t care or are not remotely close to being tech savvy. Let them be content and enjoy the things they enjoy.

Take a salt tablet, cowboy. Get back in that saddle. If it still hurts, chug some Pepto Bismol. We got work to do.

Welcome to the party! Thanks for the cat tax!

Sucks about the 4090. Maybe you can play around with undervolting it to see if you can minimise the sound a bit. Underclocking and/or undervolting won’t get rid of coil whine completely, but you’ll observe noticeable improvement.

I can hear this GIF. Seared into my brain from when I was a teen.

I had the same problem too. Many years ago in December the final weeks when businesses are slow, I painstakingly went through and edited every single one of my accounts one at a time and changed emails. If there was a legacy thing I couldn’t access or a system that wouldn’t let you change your email, then I discarded it. How do you eat a dinosaur? One bite at a time.

Through my investment in time, all my accounts are managed via the method I commented above. I own my email, and I control how I get contacted.

I’ve been off Gmail for years and deleted all my Google accounts. Here’s how you can do it, too.

Step 1: Export your emails from Gmail into an EML file.

Step 2: Sign up for a new paid email provider: Tuta, Mailbox.org, Proton to name a few.

Step 3: Import your emails.

Done.

Optional Steps (that I recommend):

1. Buy your own domain name (e.g., YourSurnameEmail.com)
2. Set up your email provider to use your Custom Domain name. Or alternatively, sign up for a service like Addy.io and use your domain name there to create alias emails.
3. Go to your domain name manager and add the settings your email provider tells you to use. This will enable your domain name to serve emails.
4. Start sending and receiving emails using your own custom email address that belongs to you.
5. Don’t like your email provider after a few years? Simply find a new one. Change your domain name settings to point your domain name to your new email provider. All your email addresses stay with you and you NEVER have to change email addresses again.
6. Swap every email login you have to use a new alias email. For example, [email protected] for Facebook, [email protected] for some web site login, [email protected] for Steam gaming, etc. Save all credentials to your password manager.

With this, you now have a unique email address for every single service, and all those alias email addresses forward your email to your actual email address. The benefit is that no one knows your real email address except you. Bye bye SPAM. When an alias email gets leaked or sold, you’ll know which company failed you. Simply swap to a different alias email, and disable the compromised alias - all SPAM stops.

Old man wearing loaded diaper that smells like pig shit calls reporter “piggy”.

Fucking badass. This is the attitude we need from our representatives.

Man I would’ve been pissed if I saw this, and hadn’t finished Hades. What a spoiler!
